AS the Police Jury have refused
to call an election in this Ward, not
withstanding petition asking for the
same was presented them signed by a
large majority of the legally qualified
voters of the Ward, and as the qnes-
ton has now somewhat abated, we will
not publish the communication of the
gentleman from Boyce, signing him
self ct" Suffice it to say, however,
his head is level on the subject and
his argument used is by far the sound
est we have yet heard. He uses facts
and figures, and does not indulge in
idle sentimentality and gush. We
shall preserve the document, and when
the issue arises again, which is an as
surcd certainty, we shall gladly give it
a place in the DEMocRAT, and then
oar readers can see and indge for
themselves.

-THR following was inscribed to one Of
Rapides fairest daughters, and is sent us
for publication
On dark and dreary morning,
While the rain was falling fast,
My thoughts began to centre
On sweet "reminiscences Of the past;
sat awhile in meditation
Asking if should compose,
Anew simple limos to express the thoughts
That enjoyed on that morn of repose.
| finally came to the conclusion,
The attempt would make at least,
Because of Kate was thinking,
And those thoughts would not waste.
To me it was sweet recollection
A chain of happy incidents, wildly
portrayed,
In which one had been the heroine,
While no here profered aid.
Her thoughts SO pure and spotless
With a heart as true as fate,
And the sweetest disposition
Is the chief characteristic of Kate.
